About Salkeld Cottage

Ellen Hall was once a working farm but today it is home to seven beautiful romantic retreats nestling in a tranquil vale close to the river Ellen in Cumbria. Positioned in a quiet spot within easy reach of the Northern Lakes, the cottages are available for short breaks or longer lets and provide a stress-free getaway for busy couples - a peaceful haven for those who appreciate a slower pace of life!

Sit back and enjoy the birdsong and soothing sounds of water from the brook that runs through the garden whilst soaking up the wonderful atmosphere, or enjoy a bubble in the hydro therapy hot tub which seats six - the perfect place to relax after a day's walking or sight-seeing.

The peaceful Ellen Vale sits between Cockermouth and the Solway Coast and provides a network of bridle paths and tracks to explore leading straight from the front door. You are also welcome to bring your dog away with you to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and wonderful walks.

For those wanting to explore the many attractions in the area, the bustling market town of Cockermouth and birthplace of William Wordsworth is just a few miles away and the 'Gateway to the North Lakes', Keswick, is less than half an hour by car - a lovely drive along Bassenthwaite Lake. The Keswick area offers a host to outdoor activities and pursuit centres, along with a marina, excellent restaurants and its very own “Theatre by the Lake”. The beautiful Cumbrian heritage coastline is less than three miles from Ellen Hall and for those happy to travel further afield, Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish Borders are all within easy reach and provide great days out.

Cumbria is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year and a holiday at Ellen Hall will allow you to explore not only the Lake District National Park but also Cumbria's beautiful coastline. Whether you are looking for a weekend/mid-week mini break or a longer holiday, Ellen Hall provides the perfect place to get away from it all and recharge your batteries!
